My Top Five Things to Buy With $5,000

Without a doubt, this is number one on my list. I try every year to take my daughters on a nice vacation. Generally it's a week at the beach, or maybe a cruise, but the ultimate dream would be Disney World. I haven't been able to pull it off quite yet, but if $5,000 was dropped into my account, I'm definitely booking a trip to Orlando.

Everyone who knows me knows this is my favorite car of all time. Once upon a time, you could find me driving one of these suckers around Shreveport. Of course, those were the days before the kiddos, and I ended up selling it a few months before my daughter was born in favor of something with back seats. With five grand, I'm going to get y dream car.

The responsible side of me would be pushing for this option if I came into $5,000. I don't have much debt, but with five thousand bones, I could get totally out of the red and finally be able to breathe a little.

I cannot possibly tell you how happy it would make me to take my daughters to a local boutique and just go crazy. It's tough on a single dad to make sure the girls are always as cute as they want to be, with $5,000, I'd buy them more clothes than they could ever know what to do with.

After moving in January, it's been harder than I imagined to re-stock on new furniture. I've been chipping away, adding furniture here and there to all of our rooms, but with 5 G's chilling in the bank account, I could fully outfit the new bad with nice, new furniture.
